Therapeutic massages are administered by Registered Massage Therapists. The intent is to assess the soft tissue and joints of the body for the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain. Through various types of manipulations and techniques, massage therapists can develop, maintain, rehabilitate, or augment physical function, or relieve pain while improving circulation and the immune system. There are many variations of massage and several different techniques Pinewood uses to treat clients.

Children and Adolescents can benefit from massage and osteopathy as well. Anxiety, stress, birth traumas, ADHD, dura tension, torticollis, respiratory dysfunctions, ear problems and growing pains are just some of the dysfunctions that can be helped. Body work can also help with self esteem, body awareness and prevention of future ailments as they grow.
